About the Journal

The Indonesian Journal of Islam and Society Studies (IJISS) is an international, open-access, peer-reviewed scholarly journal dedicated to advancing critical and interdisciplinary research on the multifaceted relationship between Islam and society. The journal provides a rigorous academic platform for examining how Islamic values, institutions, and practices interact with social, cultural, political, and economic dynamics in both Indonesian and global contexts.

IJISS publishes high-quality original research articles, systematic review papers, and conceptual studies that address contemporary developments as well as classical discourses within Islamic and social studies. By encouraging contributions from diverse academic traditions and methodological approaches, the journal seeks to foster a comprehensive understanding of Muslim societies and the evolving role of Islam in shaping modern life.

With a strong commitment to academic excellence, IJISS applies a double-blind peer-review process to ensure the integrity, validity, originality, and scholarly contribution of each published work. The journal prioritizes interdisciplinary dialogue and welcomes perspectives from various fields, including sociology, anthropology, political science, law, education, economics, cultural studies, and related disciplines. This interdisciplinary orientation enriches the analysis of Islam and its broader societal context.

Positioned in Indonesia, the country with the world's largest Muslim population, IJISS offers a distinctive scholarly vantage point that bridges local perspectives with broader global academic discourse. The journal aims not only to disseminate scholarly knowledge but also to contribute meaningfully to academic debates, policy discussions, and intellectual developments concerning Islam and society.

IJISS is managed and published by Yayasan Kanzul Amal Al-Muhtada, an institution committed to supporting academic, intellectual, and scholarly development. The journal was first published in June 2026 and is issued twice a year, in June and December. As an open-access journal, IJISS disseminates its scholarly publications primarily through its official website and Instagram, thereby supporting broader accessibility, academic visibility, and engagement with the wider scholarly and public communities.
